I am a graduate student pursuing my research from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay and National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore. I work in the area of Synthetic Biology, where I design synthetic genetic networks using custom synthetic genetic parts. If you are new to synthetic biology: "The goal of synthetic biology is to extend or modify the behavior of organisms and engineer them to perform new tasks. New molecular biology tools are playing major roles in the development of this field. A novel gift of synthetic biology is the synthesis of first organism by fully synthetic genome". I started my project at IIT Bombay from January 2006. I started working with how does quorum sensing molecule(AI-2) mediate several physiological processes in E.coli. In parallel I also started looking at predation and cannibalism in Bacillus subtilis. When I was in verge of standardizing protocols. I came to NCBS Bangalore to attend a workshop on Synthetic Biology (iGEM-2007), in June-2007, organized by Dr. Mukund Thattai. After workshop I started liking Synthetic Biology and I switched to this field. In following years, I designed and characterized several synthetic genetic networks, including bistbale, monostable, oscillator, and multiple feedback networks controlling noise in gene expression.
